Down in the Hole Lyrics

Once I came to you
With reasonable intentions
Now I lay here buried and forgotten

I live my life down underground
Digging out my ways
Digging my own grave
I breathe the damp, cold musty air
The dust of centuries consumes me

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
I dig for fool's gold

Who makes the rules
And shares what's mine
And says what's fair
Then toes the line

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
I dig for fool's gold
(I've been digging for my soul)

Down
(One)
[Oh this is where I walked]
(Two)
Set the line, out
(Three, four)
[This where I burn]
Morning light, nine
(Five, six)
[This is where I walked]
Nine
(Seven)
[This is where I burn]
(Eight)
Nine

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
I dig for fool's gold
(I've been digging for my soul)

Down in the hole
Down in the hole
Down in the hole
I dig for fool's gold
(I've been digging for my soul)

Once I came to you
With reasonable intentions
Now I lay here buried and forgotten

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
